complexity bias

Complexity bias is a cognitive bias where individuals tend to favor complex explanations, theories, or solutions over simpler ones, even when the simpler ones are more likely to be correct or effective. This preference often stems from the belief that complex ideas are more sophisticated, intelligent, or thorough.
Whenever I ask my friends for advice on a simple problem, they always dive into some wild complexity bias, making everything sound way more complicated than it needs to be!

chi/chi-complex

this is what happens when a good man grown and really mature who is tall has a underage daughter who is brought up really well and refine and classy and elegant like he's a king and shes a virtuous princess... good in every way but the mother wasn't....and this girl is tall early because her father is called and she will hold her self out to the public around her father without anyone knowing that this is his daughter and she pretends to be her father wife simply to make sure no other woman dates her father but her mother and checks every good woman her father tries to marry...it's laughable how far his daughter will take this too to stop all women from dating her daddy she loves so much.
chi/chi-complex believes in everything she's fighting for if she has a complex like this.

The Ronin Complex

1. A psychological or social state where a person stands firm in their belief or opinion, convinced of their absolute correctness, even when they are met with universal hatred, opposition, and disagreement from every other individual.

2. The unshakable conviction that you are the sole champion of truth, while everyone else is lost, flawed, or simply an idiot. This person has willingly or accidentally become a "ronin"—a lone, masterless warrior—of their own flawed opinion.

3. The rare social phenomenon where an entire group of people achieves perfect consensus on only one issue: the fact that a single, stubbornly confident person is completely wrong.
I tried to show him the math, but he's got a classic case of The Ronin Complex—he's decided he's a lone wolf intellectual and the rest of us are sheep

Don't even try to argue with her about the new marketing plan; she's deep in The Ronin Complex and is convinced our entire team is just too small-minded to see her genius.
